Something for everyone
It is our mission at Bee Inspired Eco Education, to bring the world of bees to all parts of the community of Leeds and the surrounding areas. Inspiring the next generation to care for the environment and find ways to help our precious pollinators. They are vital to ensure food security, as well as the health and welfare of everyone and everything. Whether you run a school or a club, are looking for an activity to do with friends, or have an event you would like us to attend, get in touch today.

Format
The club will involve aspects of learning about bees and beekeeping as well as related craft activities. This includes things like frame building, candle rolling, designing and creating solitary bee hotels, making seed balls and more. Each participant will also get to have at least two extended sessions where they will don protective clothing and join in with hive inspections in our on-site BIEE Experience Apiary. We like to do this with a smaller group so it will be on a rotation basis.
Class size
We will have a maximum of 12 kids per session and every child will get at least two hands-on sessions in the BIEE Experience Apiary
Pricing
The six week session will cost £36 per participant. Discounts may be available for FSM (free-school-meals) families. Please get in touch.

Need help with funding?
All prices quoted are inclusive of travel expenses within Leeds postal code area. Prices may increase if you have particular tailored requirements that involve additional planning or equipment/workshop materials.
As a community interest company, we are passionate about the environment and ensuring that our workshops and clubs are accessible by the whole community. We don’t want cost to be a barrier to inspiring a love of bees and the environment in our children and young adults.
BIEE would like to make our activities accessible to as many children and schools as possible so we are constantly striving to access grants to allow us to offer low or no-cost (grant-funded) activities. If your school would like to organise an activity but are unable to allocate any budget without additional funding, please get in touch. As and when funding is made available we will reach out to those who have shown an interest. Priority will be given to schools based on need, as measured by the pupil premium.
